HOLIDAY HOUSE, GRADES 2-6

Reviews
In this gently told, handsomely rendered folktale, Wang's… blend of romance, drama and magic imbues her text with the flavor of an old-world legend. —Publishers Weekly
Hillenbrand… adds welcome authenticity to this entertaining slice of oral history. —Booklist
…Hillenbrand’s stylized watercolors are loosely based on southern Sung paintings. Peachy pinks and soft blues are punctuated with unexpected bursts of color, such as Funtong’s sickly green face and Pearl’s wedding kimono.
